hey guys...well i think its time for me to get my w202 serviced....running a little bit rough at idle and i only have 70,000 miles on it...so i called like a mom and pop operation here in town that does only mercedes cars...well they charge like 85$ an hour plus about 65$ for the synthetic oil...they told me to bring about 200-300$...is this right??,,,,i definitly dont want to take it to the dealer cause u know how expensive they are...any advice would be great...thanks...G

Depends on what you need done besides the oil change.

forget that. i buy my own synthetic oil and filter and then roll to the shop like a mom/pop quick change and they do it for 15 bones.

it comes out to about 5.00 x 9qts = 45
and 10.00 for the filter, so
55.00 total

15.00 to change the oil/service.

watch the shadiness player.

I think thats cheap for MB. The dealer here is $120 an hour and the indi is $90.

Oil Changes are flat rate at my dealer, about $90 after tax.

oh my mistake,
for an oil change at my indi they charge a $30 flat rate for the labor.

I pay $90 CDN for Syntec Oil and filter at my Mechanic

if ur car takes syntc ur filter is not 10 bux it should be more than that being the "fleece" filter.

Has any one ever used this oil extractor before?

My mechanic use's a similar device, save's so much time and works really well for lowered vehicle's...
